Its kinda hard to end it when three or four of the players haven't made it to the game and nobody has made a post of more than 4 lines. I could make up scumreads but that won't do the town any good and just make me look like a dumbass in a couple gamedays, when I'm likely to have at least one good scumread and I need people to actually listen to me.In post 25, FuDuzn wrote:UNVOTE: VOTE: TCS
Les Stroud is much cooler.
And Arc, if you want rvs stage to end then you do have the power to make it end.
For as much as I hate it, it does serve a purpose, and it is hard to get out of if nobody is giving much to go on.
But Emp and TCS seem to have given us something to go on. I personally want to hear what Emp has to say about his "information" before I do anything about it though.-

No, I probably have an entirely different role than you do. The information I have isn't, "this person is in the game", its more that I inferred it from multiple sources that Jebus posted and or arrived in my role pm.
I'm not even sure if its just a false trail. It very well could be in a bastard game.
THe reason I find you suspicious is that immediately after saying, "The only information I was given is that Bear Grylls is in the game", you said, "Hey does anyone know anything about X". This is a heavy tell of a lie. You were given more information.
Now, whether its a scumtell, or just a lie to protect your town role. It makes me suspicious.
@Nacho, Its not that I find his approach scummy per say, its more that I think he lied and I find it suspicious. So I voted him. My vote will likely change as soon as more information is availiable.-

Eh, sorry if I'm a bit uneloquent today, I'm recovering from a minor concussion and hava a massive headache.
I found Empking suspicious since I saw what appeared to be a lie. I still call it as a lie, and still find it suspicious, but the speed of his responses and how he isn't avoiding any of my questions makes me think that he is most likely a town role with a reason to mess with the person TCS claims to be. I'd like not to lynch either of them until I see more evidence pointing to either one.
And then my question to Zd was just asking what he finds to be scummy in me.
Even information that seems to point to me being scum is information, and more information in the hands of the town is a good thing.
Again, sorry if I appear to be rather inelegant today, I'm not much in the mood for easing information out of people.-

Vote: Zdenek
THis is a combination of OMGUS and a lack of an explaination as to why you are trying to lynch me.
The reason I brought up my concussion is that it is making me much more blunt than usual, I'm assuming he is unvoting me because I also explained my actions in greater detail in that post.
BTW, remember that Jebus has a rule where you have to unvote before your revote counts. Just to let you know.-

My defense is that I didn't explain my actions very well for that post, rereading it, I can agree I looked a bit scummy there. When I made the next post, the one with the misspelling you pointed out, I explained myself and explained why I was acting a bit blunt and why I didn't explain myself very well. I tend to be a bit of a blunt asshole when I have a headache, and my entire head was pounding when the game started, so my first posts where rather brash.In post 56, FuDuzn wrote:
I am not doubting you had a concussion, but it is a strange bit of defense just as someone is voting you because of an iffy statement you made. And to be clear, I think Nacho was voting you because of what you said, not how 'eloquently'(or not elequently) you said it. What I don't quite get is why Nacho unvoted you.In post 55, Arc wrote:Vote: Zdenek

I never said any of you doubted I had a concussion, I brought that back up because Zd was seemingly using it as a basis for swaying people on me. I've explained myself on this, and I feel like actually contributing to the game, Who else do you think is scum? You were sitting on TCS for a while, but you haven't actually commented on the Empking/TCS "gambit" on page 1, what is your opinion on this? If I get lynched and I flip town, who would you suspect next?-

I'm just asking your reasoning of sitting on him earlier. I honestly don't care if you sit on me all day as long as I don't get misslynched. I'm not trying to deflect, I'm trying to generate discussion. Note the first question I asked you wasn't even about him, just about your scum reads in general. I'll say it again, Is there anyone else you find suspicious?
Nobody did, I'm calling myself a blunt asshole when I've got a headache. ANd sorry, I thought you were pointing out a misspelling of elequence, My bad.
Nah, I thought Nacho's post was about me not explaining myself very well on my post. Though, I'm not actually going to say his reasoning for his vote on me, or his unvote on me because I don't know his reasoning.
So, are you gonna actually discuss anything, or are you just going to bus me for a while?-

Well, where I usually play, its akin to "throwing someone under the bus", and is usually used in the context of someone pushing a lynch hard for whatever reason they want that person dead.
Here it tends to be used in a more focused way that is just scum trying to distance themselves from their partners.
If I slip up and use the definition I'm more used to, I apologize.
He is suddenly pushing hard for a lynch on me and seems to be avoiding my attempts to start any type of discussion. I'd like to see some more of that, so even if I get misslynched day one, there is some discussion to look back on and scumhunt off of.-

Thanks, I like answers and I was reading you a bit town, so the lack of them was getting me rathered frustrated. And actually, I don't care for a TCS lynch, if you are suggesting that I was trying to deflect to him, out of the two I see Empking as more suspicious. I have also stated already, after I've been "caught" that I would prefer not to lynch either one of them until we get something more clear on the matter.In post 73, FuDuzn wrote:Generally speaking on Day 1 I try to find one scum and stick with that person until someone else is scummy. I don't really think about who else could be scum until we have caught one. Right now I feel very strongly that Arc is scum and will make sure he is the one who is lynched.
If I were to play devils advocate though, the interaction between empking/TCS seems a bit weird but there is little to no chance I would switch to one of them at this point.
Pimhel, what about this wagon bothers you? Is there something that screams town about Arc to you? To me he appears as classic noob scum. Got caught and instantly try to deflect attention to who else could be scum(in his case TCS).
Sorry to whoever is his scumbuddy(s), but I am not going anywhere.
If you want, feel free to sit your vote on me all day, I don't mind a bit as long as I can get a reasoning from it.
Eh, the background for my character in combination with the introductory post made it quite clear to me that there either should be or there is someone connected to the afterlife in this game. Not sure how that person would be connected, but know there probably will be. This is at least a semi bastard game, so it could very well be a false lead thrown into my role PM with a vague intro post leading me to that.In post 63, Zdenek wrote:
What are these sources? I've probably missed them.In post 38, Arc wrote:its more that I inferred it from multiple sources that Jebus posted
Where do you usually play mafia?
Just for clarity, I wasn't actually trying to lynch you. If I was, I'd probably have made more of a case.
I used to run a website and a bunch of people there played(around 50 or so), I've put in about twenty games there, of various sizes, all the way from a 9 person game to a 20 person game. Unfortunately the members abandoned it and the site has closed down. I've also put in a couple games in a few other places, but not in a large number. THe games I"m used to are a bit faster paced than here, so I'm still trying to get used to slowing down my pushes to lynch. So yeah, I probably sound a bit noobish coming into a meta that has games last for months.
Well thanks for the answer, as I said above I like to get information out on the table, as it helps everyone figure things out. If you are trying to lynch me, I'd like to see the reasoning behind such a vote on the table, so everyone can gain, also, with people making more informative posts, it could be easier to find scum, depending on their skill.
UNVOTE:
Now Empking getting all defensive and listing his reasoning as "I'm Obvtown" brings my suspicion back up. I think I'll put it back on him for a while.

No, I think I have the strength of mind not to get on a mafia site when I'm drunk.
I have a question for you now, why are you "obvtown"? I haven't seen anything that points strongly towards either alignment yet, but I do find you suspicious already. So if you made an "obvtown" post somewhere and I missed it, I'd like to see it. :rollseyes:-

I'm the only player properly invested in this game and trying to find the scum, ergo obvtown. Compare me to Whiskers, for example, I don't think he's said one word that could be construed as useful.
Being invested heavily in the game isn't alignment indicative, Scum can also be very invested in the game.
Pim put my response to FuDuzn in his very post. I was asking why he voted on someone who had only really been involved in one event without stating the reason or commenting on event in question. Also in the same post, I had at least attempted to address the suspicions on myself by pointing to answers I had made to the same questions.
Also, in response to Pim saying Empking is a bad vote, I can agree that it is a bit of an uninformed vote, as the only thing I have going for it is a bit of suspicion, but I don't necessarily see it as a bad vote.
So to you Pimhel, Who do you think is scum at the moment, I'm interested in hearing it.-

The only thing I've seen you do all game is try to finger TCS as a survivor, which isn't actually a neccessary detriment to the town. I haven't seen you post anything that says you think someone is definately scum, you've pointed a light finger at both Fuduzn and TCS, but nothing saying why or even a serious case on them.
Also, being active during day one is a good play for scum as it will give them more credibility late game if they dont' slip up. They have as much of a reason to be active as the town does early game.-

That was me finding the argument useless for the continuing scum hunt since I had already answered all the questions that were being thrown at me, so I was trying to generate discussion, that way we would have a better chance of finding the scum on day one.In post 103, FuDuzn wrote:Serra, not trying to be snotty, but do you know what playing devils advocate means? I said that because I have no other real scum read besides Arc and if there was even remotely anything that I feel that could be looked at as possibly scummy it would be that interaction.
Pim, I see what you are getting at. But the timing of him asking me about that is part of why I think he is scum, it is a classic case of deflection. Just as heat is coming on to me he try's to get the person most suspicious of him(me) to talk about something else.
And I don't think there is a rule against faking a post restriction, I know I have seen uberninja do it. Though I guess that doesn't really mean anything I guess lol.
Its Hellen Keller, who didn't have any language until she learned sign language, it could make sense as his character and explain his posting restriction. I'm a bit wary to believe it just yet, but I'd like to not lynch him just because posting only pictures is suspicious.In post 116, PimHel wrote:I don't know who that is >.<
There is nothing wrong with how he phrased his argument, it was quite clear he finds me to be a devil and to "play the devil's advocate" would be to listen to what I'm saying and play along with the questions I was asking.In post 104, serrapaladin wrote:The implication is that you're arguing a stance that's not yours, but that's not necessarily how it's used. You don't need to play devil's advocate to point out there's something weird going on between Emp/TCS. Regardless, those sort of conditional statements are quite a clever way to phrase an argument, as someone who agrees with it will have it reflect positively on you, while someone who disagrees will find it negated by the preface.
On Other news, While I'm not V/LA during the weekend, I'm pretty much V/LA during weekends. Its the only time of week I don't have to work so usually I get bombarded with things to do, and don't have a lot of time. If I take a bit to answer stuff, sorry, I'm trying my best.-

Actually, flavor wise, it could STILL make sense that Whiskers had a post restriction, and is lying about lying. Hellen Keller had no way to learn language until she was taught it through sign language. Whiskers could have easily had a post restriction where he could only post images until someone named hellen keller. Though, I kinda doubt that at this point. Whiskers, do you claim hellen keller, or was that just a troll claim? Not that it matters since you denied the posting restriction, but w/e.In post 177, PimHel wrote:2. is for both cases.
And there were more players having doubts about his post restriction. TCS only said it clearly why it didn't work as Helen Keller. If others who were doubting the Post Restriction already would think that TCS has a point, then Whiskers could have been attacked by it.
I know the feeling, but I'm partly to blame for being away all weekend.In post 187, Tammy wrote:Buh. This game needs an adrenaline injection or something. It's kinda hard to get any reads I feel great about when most everyone is standing around the water cooler filing their nails.
Towards your question directed at me, my early attempted read at PimHel ended up being nothing but a mixed read, I was just trying to get some serious discussion going at the beginning of the game while failing horribly at it, also he feels definately town at this point.
At this point, I'm feeling at least one of TCS/Empking as scum, Leaning towards Empking at the moment, but it is rather close. I also don't like the way Fud is defending himself against Zdenek, but I'm not sure whether to take it as scummy, so I'm gonna leave it alone at the moment.-

No, I'm not hellen keller, nor do I have a posting restriction. But that's kind of what I was going for after the third post or so, a post restriction that lifted when [x].In post 195, Arc wrote:

The vote in post 187 (Tammy for The Central Scrutinizer) does not count because lack of unvote.
With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.
<snip> Mod error because TCS has a long name.
Also Jebus, Is this vote count accurate? Especially the bolded part. I'm assuming mod error.Last edited by Jebus on Tue May 07, 2013 1:41 pm, edited 1 time in total.-

@TCS, what Avering just said is true, neither of you have the support needed to build a wagon against today. My post was just stating that I find you very nearly equally scummy, but if one of you is scum, the likelyhood that the other is scum goes down greatly in my eyes. In this situation, I'm likely to support either lynching.
Though, the post I'm responding to just makes you look more scummy to me. Instead of asking why you appeared more like scum, which I assumed nacho would anyway, and defending yourself, or trying to defend yourself with an attack of some sort, you try to warp what I said in response to nacho.

Have been all game, almost got lynched because I backed off a bit because my read wasn't as much scum at that point as it was just suspicious. That has slipped back closer to scum, but after TCS's post earlier, I feel he is more likely at the moment.In post 213, Tammy wrote:
...you do realize that he was already voting empking at the time, right?In post 203, The Central Scrutinizer wrote:

Also, @TCS, my problem isn't with the attack, its the method of the attack. Instead of bringing up evidence that I'm either full of shit or scum, you poorly paraphrased me to try to make me look as such. I find that tactic is usually used by scum, as it doesn't really give any information but still can get the job done if people take it as fact.-

I'm gonna point out that I was arguing heavily on Empking earlier in the day, and the fact that I was responding directly to Nacho when he posted this.In post 233, serrapaladin wrote:Arc's post 199 is bad. His unjustified distinction between "looks like scum" and "feels like scum" does give off the vibe of wanting a wagon on either, while wanting to seem involved in wagon formation.
Without context, yeah it looks rather noncommital, but when it is the direct response to another player's question over why I'm pushing a certain lynch over another lynch I said I would support, not so much.In post 198, Nachomamma8 wrote:
Why on earth is that?In post 195, Arc wrote:Leaning towards Empking at the moment, but it is rather close.
The last few pages made me suspect him more, and I'm getting an uneasy feeling about tammy, but I can't put my finger on what is bothering me about her at all. Fuduzn is much easier to pinpoint. He is attacking people for factors that don't exist inside the game, and the entire discussion between him and tammy feels like he is trying to stretch doubt that should already exist on her to set up a lynch in the future.In post 256, Whiskers wrote:Are we dead set on lynching TCS? Every post Fuduzn makes, I want to lynch him. Actually,
Unvote
Vote: Fuduzn
The first one bothers me greatly, and the second one bothers me more than it probably should. I had him at a town read earlier in the day, so this doesn't change it to a scum read, but I feel its something I must reevaluate at the moment.
@PimHel, In post 244 you said you have a town read on Avering, who claimed a role who can turn himself into a survivor, but you later say you don't trust any role that can win with scum. If both of these factors are true, then why do you trust Avering, from 221 it seems he is alluding to the fact that he can control the change to survivor, if this is true, then there is really no difference between that role and a normal survivor role, and it makes me more nervous than Whiskers, who said that he must meet certain conditions before he can win with either alignment. That part makes it sound like he would have to paly to their win condition in order to win with them. If we are going to force full claims based on survivor-like roles, I'd like to know more about how Avering switches to survivor than whisker's claim.-

Personal insults based on things that have no merit to the game has no place inside of the game. At the best, it doesn't help anyone in the game, at the worst, it helps scum. If you want to be snarky to a player, find a merit in the game, or I'm gonna start reevaluating my read on you. Differing usage could explain why you found your comment snarky and I find it more of an attack, either way it bothers me.
And the other part to my supposed protection of whiskers was just asking PimHel why he was being illogical and asking from a full claim from a claim that seems less dangerous to town. Whiskers claim suggests that he would at least have to help the town in order to win with the town, though there are several ways he could win with several alignments. I may or may not be for or against full claims, but I think if we are going to push for full claims, we should push for people to claim that say they can choose to screw us over before people who imply they would have to meet criteria to win with a certain team.
Also, someone who has to met criteria to win with a side could be useful in other ways, for example:
While this discussion is up, whiskers, in post 231, you say you can win with any faction, not "win with either the scum or the town", was this a slip that there is more than two factions in this game? It would be helpful information if you could let us know.-

I was suggesting the slip was on your part, not Jebus', from your earlier posts, I read it as you had to meet certain criteria in order to win with a faction, which would have given you more information than us.
Finding your claim slightly more dangerous now, but I still find The Avering's more dangerous in general, neither of which should be a problem until later in the game, but if we are even suggesting trying to force lynches or full claims on survivor-like softclaims, I suggest we choose the person who says they can screw us over at will instead of the person who says they have to be careful to win with either faction. Still curious about that, I'll have to remember to look up your role at endgame and see how it worked.-

Yes, I do. This seems to suggest that there may be a way for a faction to win before endgame, outside of a standard win condition, and it makes me a bit nervous. If there were just standard win conditions for factions, then this rules inclusion wouldn't have been necessary.In post 269, Nachomamma8 wrote:

-Factional win conditions may potentially end the game.
I disagree, him saying he has the power to control the change means he can choose to change over to it whenever his faction seems likely to lose and force the loss. I find that more dangerous than someone who claims that they could win with the scum, but they have to be careful to make sure they can win with either side.In post 276, PimHel wrote:@Arc
No, Avering isn't more dangerous than Whiskers. He claims that he has the power to change into a survivor. If he chooses to do so now, he's on his own. If he's lynched or NK' ed, he has lost. If he stays with his faction, he can still win if he's lynched or NK' ed.
However, we don't know what the requirements for Whiskers are. For all we know, he's on the scum's side already.
@Whiskers, Could you please make a case? Or give at least a basic reason? I don't like how Fuduzn has been playing, but I don't see scum written all over it, so I begin to fathom supporting this without at least some sort of information about it.-

If this is in response to me, I do not find you scum, in fact i even said I found you town, but when you use personal insults i find it cause to reevaluate my read on you. if i find anything that would suggest you were scum it would stand on its own. If it seemed like i was trying to implicate you, i wasnt.In post 279, FuDuzn wrote:So, a big part of why you think I am scum is because you don't like my tone? What are you my mother?
I am sarcastic, and yes I sometimes border on being an asshole(and as a sidenote, please don't take anything too seriously or personal I may say in game, after all this is a game and I am just having fun. If I do offend you, I genuinely am sorry).

The type of insult used. he insulted you because he thought you were being an idiot, you insulted him for something outside the game. In mafia, the first type of insult is very common, but the second type makes me take another look at things.In post 287, FuDuzn wrote:

Second, if you take personal insults into account when making reads.......then why have you not said anything about Whiskers calling me a moron?? I only gave him what he gave me, this relationship between you and Whiskers is becoming very transparent.
Also when did I ever say I have a strong read on Whiskers? I'm still looking into him.
Also Whiskers, if you don't want to be lynched, why did you say that you prefer winning with any faction? That sounds a bit anti town to me.-

So, 18 days for a day phase, and we started on the first. That means the deadline is in four days.
@all of the people on Fuduzn's wagon, why exactly are you there? I haven't seen a decent case from any of you. Can I get one please?
@Serrapaladin, What is your case on Zdenek? Do you have strong feelings about him being scum?
@PimHel, what are your reads aside from your negative feelings on Whisker's claim? You've been pushing that wagon pretty hard, is there anyone else you feel strongly about?-

I didn't mention the reason I seemingly switched 180 degrees between my standpoint of "lynch Empking" to, "eh, seems townish", I figured that was why Nacho Voted me, so I explained why I missed out on such an important part of this post, and then explained myself. Just to clarify the making of the excuse in the first place, I have no idea why Zdenek tried to jump on it and then stopped immediately after.In post 321, Whiskers wrote:Looking at the Activity Overview, zDenek has Twenty posts. On the low side, but still in the middle; This isn't enough to zing him for inactivity, so let's move on.
First post that isn't one-line is
To put that into context, he was making real-life excuses in THIS post, saying he has a concussion when he wrote THIS post:In post 53, Zdenek wrote:Nacho, why are you unvoting?
That was Arc making real-life excuses.
Arc, I'm not going to make a case against you just yet.
I'm not sure what's so bad about ^ that post to begin with, so I'm not sure why Arc is actually making the excuse. So in turn, ZdenekIn post 46, Arc wrote:Eh, Emp is looking more town the more he posts. I was hoping to catch him on something definite.
UNVOTE:
I don't like TCS's reaction either, but with tells on so few of the players, I'm not comfortable jumping on the wagon just yet.
Zdenek, What makes me scum?kind ofattacking him for the real-world excuseAbout Nothingseems really... off.
It's after this post (zden's) that I vote Zden. Literally very next post.
This isn't that strong of an argument on Zdenek, it is reaching to try to show a connection between him and the victims of two separate wagons. If you really feel strongly that there is a connection between Zd. and these two people with established wagons, and also see Zd as scum, why did you unvote one of the people you are trying to connect him to?
And, that seems alright with me. But I'll keep going, since the game HAS moved past that point.
Post 63 he mentions he "Wasn't trying to lynch [Arc]". Might be scum coaching, since between these posts of zdenek's, both TCS and FuDuzn (You know, theothermajor wagons of the Day) jumped on him. They're both worthy of note:
FuDuzn, specifically, votes Arcbecauseof the concussion excuse.
TCS votes Arc-- it looks like based on a scumslip, but not sure-- then unvotes him in his next postafterFuDuzn says "hey, I wasn't trying to lynch him!"
Post 123 (yeah, his next post is 60 later. ugh...) he talks to both of these players...
By this point I feel less like I'm proving Zden is scum and more like I'm showing connections between these three. Well, anyway, I don't like the post. Hedoesfollow up with FuDuzn on the bit about hit meta, I guess that's good, but a different player really took up that fight and pushed it (Arc, iirc). The comment on Empking's line is null. He, I dunno,informsTCS of what he said-- I'd assume TCS already knew-- it kind of looks like an accusation but isn't. I can't put my finger on what it is about that part, maybe someone else can explain it. LASTLY, the vote also bothers me. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it, just a kind of RVS on page 5, when we've been out of RVS for a while.-

THIS is why I want to kill him with fire, hot fire. But, I find the way TCS reacted to the entire ordeal suspicious as well, and he hasn't made it better, so I decided that TCS would be a good lynch as well, he has more support behind him, looks just as scummy with his defense, and I feel that the interaction between the two of them turned up at least one scum, so even if I'm wrong about TCS being town, I'll know to kindle the fire to throw Empking in tomorrow.In post 354, serrapaladin wrote:@Arc: Well, I'm trying to understand why Emp would out his various pieces of information so early, and none of the reasons I can think of are particularly pro-town. Drawing attention to TCS could mean he's a slow-playing lyncher or something like that.
If he is a lyncher, he is doing a terrible job, he's been pushing the Fuduzn wagon.
What makes a Tammy lynch good at this time? I really didn't like her predecessor, but I haven't seen anything she has said to make me think she deserves a scum read.In post 357, riningear wrote:

in case it didn't carry over. Rining has had some time since replacing in to give some good reads beyond his catch-up post (which was just 'catch-up'-y), but hasn't.
I'm too worried about Emp to lynch TCS and Fuduzn isstilltown. Zdenek is now Rining and I'd lynch him or FT.and Dragon Age II which I just got a sick bargain onand stuff like that.
Zdenek did seem kind of scummy reading through his stuff, which sucks because now I gotta defend my sorry non-scum ass. [sigh]dammit[/sigh]
I'm still not good at getting solid scumreads, as this is only my second game, but Tammy, Arc and Empking are reading as FBI's Most Scummy to me, even though everyone seems to have jumped off the bandwagon for the last one. Oh well.
VOTE: Tammy
Also, is the only reason you find me scummy at the moment the way I talk? I haven't seen a reason behind your scumread on me aside from that.
If thats all it is, sorry, I talk like this all the time.-

Also at Rin, I'm not really new to mafia at all, I just come from an entirely different meta than this place, so my playstyle is a good bit different. Yeah, I'm new here, but that doesn't mean anything in my eyes.
PEdit: Yeah, I wasn't feeling very good and really f'ed up the beginning of the day, then the arguement I got into with FuDuzn really didn't give me a very good option except to be defensive.
Also, you pointed at a post earlier where I said I didn't want to lynch Fuduzn because he was still reading town, I've been reading him as town all day, why did THAT post in particular catch your eye?-

I just Iso'd myself, because I was curious, In the entire game, I stated I had a town read on Fuduzn ~5 times, and said I would relook at him twice, both times I came up with town results again, why did the latest time I said I found him town catch your eye? Wouldn't one of the times I was calling him town while he was pushing hard for a lynch on me be just as eye catching, I'm interested in your reasoning.In post 368, riningear wrote:

Now I don't want Tammy in the game because after a freak out like that, she would be useless as a Vig or a Leashed SK, comeon, flipping your lid and claiming vig at L-2. Just....wow...Lets hope her replacement isn't going to flip their lid at nothing as well, though, honestly, I wouldn't want to replace into that.
I'm going for this.
UNVOTE: VOTE: EMPKING
Wait, I only count two votes on Tammy, making her L-5......Am I missing something here? If this is correct, please replace out, I don't want to deal with this every time you hit L-5.
Serra, you said you didn't like how Empking ran day one, we don't have a lot of time to do anything, Care to join me here? And before you ask me the same thing you just asked tammy, No, I don't, at this point I think they are different factions, and they have a bit of information about the other team. Either that or Empking is scum and TCS is useless and plans to play antitown all game. Either way they should both die.
Fud, how do you like the way Empking handled himself against a crazed Tammy, would you care to join me here? I know you are likely to think I'm scum for this, but I don't really care. I want to kill my scumread, this is a trait we share, amiright? We can do Zd tomorrow.
Whiskers, join me here.
Anyone else, You should really join me here, Empking just pushed our claimed Vigilante's buttons hard enough to get her to go on a two page crazy train, BEFORE anyone really had a chance to counterclaim, not that I think that it would happen, but you should at least slow down enough for someone to have a chance at a counterclaim. Not to mention the argument he was making with Tammy is not standing on any solid ground. Not that his opponent did anything to try to knock it over, it was mostly screaming.
Sir Jebus Sir, could we please have an extension of a few days?-

I agree completely on Zd being far more blatantly scummy than Empking, But I want to push a lynch on Empking while these things are fresh, Rin hasn't really made herself look any better than Zd, so I think it'll be a bit of an easy lynch to go at her.In post 418, FuDuzn wrote:Seriously Tammy, chill out. Have a beer and maybe take the weekend off from this game. That being the key word, this is all just a game, don't let it get under your skin.
That being said, in the game I referenced before that I played with her(leprachaun mafia) she acted just as bucknutty, if not moreso, and she was town. So I don't like the who what when where and why's about her claim, I think she just let her emotions get the best of her.
Arc, I would much prefer Rinin over Empking. After reading through ZD I believe his scumminess to be much more blatant.
Right now I'm reading Rin and Emp as a scumteam, with TCS as an antitown 3rd party.-

No, I asked for a DL extension because I didn't think our largely inactive town would be around soon enough to lynch anyone.
I'll vote Rin if there is more support for that wagon, but I really want Empking dead before the next sun rises, I don't want him to slip out of this because we put too much time inbetween his recent actions and a wagon on him, too much time for support on wagons like Whiskers or the avering which have claimed survivor like roles to be formed because of anti town excuses.-

Do you really feel that starting a large argument with a claimed Vig, arguing that it is a fake claim before you even allow anyone to offer up a counterclaim, not to be scummy? He went through no verification process, gave no method of trying to confirm or deny the claim, but instantly attacked the claimed vigilante? This just feels awful.
Why would Town-Emp attack a claimed vigilante without trying to confirm the claim, or offering someone else the chance to prove that the claim is false?-

I was more arguing that he should prove tammy wasnt the vig and not scream to get her lynched before we actually get a chance to prove it or not.In post 438, Whiskers wrote:I'll also say, Tammy, that the whole counter-claiming thing isn't on you-- I'm saying Arc shouldn't have suggested it, thatArcis trying to draw out more power roles. It has nothing to do with you, really.
In this small of a game, i assume that we only have one real vigilante. We could have a sk or something but two vigs is pretty unlikely.
A counterclaim is the fastest way to call bs on the situation, not the best but the fastest. Empking jumping on a claimed vig without trying to prove bs is what i was arguing about.
Also tammy, my rude comment towards you was mainly an annoyance of getting up and first thing in the morning, on a rather busy morning and i had to read to and respond to about two pages of someone trolling you and you doing the equivalent of hollering like a child. I'm sorry if I offended you with that.-

Rin, I find it interesting that you were sheeping Empking in the argument he had with tammy, then as soon as I made an appeal to the masses, you turned around and voted to lynch him. Also, your predecessor, while not appearing that scummy himself, triggered flags on several people, and then you come along and not vote with your reads, and sheeping several people you state are scum(myself and the afformentioned empking).
Even with this said, I really want Emp dead, really really want Emp dead. But Rin looks like a really sharp #2.
Nacho, I'll trust you a bit if you explain your claim a little more, If you are targeted by a player, you switch to their alignment? So, if Tammy shoots you, do you counter it and switch to her alignment, or do you die? Does it have to be a kill? seems like an interesting role, but I'd like for you not to die if we can help it.-

Cool, That allows me to do this.
I claim Dead Philosopher(actual philosopher removed for the protection of the involved), I am a 1-Shot Dayvig who can kill God, and Only God. If I actually hit God with my shot, I win the game. Secondary win condition is standard town win condition.
Now, I really want town to win this, and I'm guessing God will be a town role, so I don't really want to try and actually hit him, so I'm gonna target you with my kill so the claimed vig can actually kill someone tonight. I believe Tammy's claim, even though I am also a vig, because I do not believe I can actually kill any scum with my shot. Also, if this works, We get a two verified town, and a vig that can actually shoot tonight.

When I asked how my shot worked, Jebus said that it didn't end the day but it did trigger a mod scene. So, that'll probably show up the next time he gets on.
I basically wasted my shot to turn Nacho into town, because I'd rather have a town win in this game than not, and God sounds like a town role. Since my shot can ONLY kill god, I'd rather use it to trust nacho than use it to kill a probable townie.-

...Why?In post 541, Arc wrote:I basically wasted my shot to turn Nacho into town,
No, I just find the game more fun to pick a side unless I'm a side all on my own. As it was, I just had a win condition that may or may not prove harmful to my other wincondition, and I'd rather use my power to get a good player that will be active on my side than possibly screw up the town win condiition, as I find that type of win condition to be more fun in the first place.
WHY!? What the hell is it with everybody and wanting to be town? Do you think it's just more likely that Town will win? Do you figure that if you pick the side with more people (probably) on it, they'll like you more and not want to lynch you?? Like, really, I don't get the obsession with being town. If you're a 3rd party or unaligned, why do you want to become town as opposed to something else? If "God" seems like a town role to you, who cares? Why don't you want to kill it and leave the game with a win, townies-be-damned?In post 541, Arc wrote:because I'd rather have a town win in this game than not,
Who claimed Hitler? Are you Hitler? And I thought about that as well, God being on the scum team could make sense, God being unaligned could make sense, but hounding people for roleclaims is going to be playing against my other win condition, and while I can probably figure it out, I'd rather push for my standard win condition to attempt to make my chance at winning the greatest. If God is scum, then I'm still going to get him killed. I just won't win immediately for it.
Yes, because in a bastardmod game, roles are always the alignment you'd first think they belong to-- like Patrick Bateman and Adolf Hitler being town.In post 541, Arc wrote:and God sounds like a town role.
Also, There is a possibility that God isn't even in the game, I really doubt it, but it is possible.
Then IMO, you're a fool, or at least you're not confident in your abilities to sus out God. [/quote]Too bad. Deal with it. :trollface:In post 541, Arc wrote:Since my shot can ONLY kill god, I'd rather use it to trust nacho than use it to kill a probable townie.
Not really, I can only kill one player in the entire game, which makes me a rather lacking vigilante, I can easily see both roles fitting in a balanced setup.Also: As Empking said-- that calls Tammy's claim further into question, though not much since, like I already said,literally everyone could be a vig, it's a fucking theme game you idiots.
@Tammy, Jebus may not let my role interact with his role the same way a standard kill would, considering my role is only supposed to kill god, it may not trigger his role. I hope it doesn't work that way, but it might.-
